The Mohammed Ali thing was really cool.

On my birthday.

No need to be distraught. 1-2 is much better than 0-3, we’re going to be fine this season especially when Oden and Webby come back.

I’m not distraught. When they come back, things will get better. We have proven without Oden before, and I think we can again. Losing record, winning record must stand by my Blazers.

C’mon, we need to get this over 35.

1. Centers must play in the paint. Their main job is to defend the net, like a hockey goalie.

2. Power Forwards should play in the paint. Their main job is to score low and help rebound.

3. Guards should be able to hit the open jumper and get to the rack.

4. Ball hoggery is bad. Teamwork is good.

5. Great basketball is art, not science.

A couple of disturbing Trail Blazer trends

by Dwight Jaynes
November 2nd, 2008

It’s way too early to panic. Three games are just three games. And when it comes to statistics, we’re dealing with what the experts call a small sample size. You know, if you start the baseball season by getting hits in five of your first 10 at-bats, it doesn’t mean you’re going to hit .500 for the season.

But on the other hand, I think it merits mention that after three games, the Trail Blazers are the worst defensive team in the NBA, based on the field-goal percentage that opponents have compiled against them.

Teams are shooting a combined 52.3 percent from the field against the Blazers over three games. And worse yet, Portland is allowing opponents to shoot 51.2 percent from three-point range — when the next-worst team in the league is allowing 44.3 percent three-point shooting.

Sure is a good think that Nate is such a defensive coach, eh? Just think what the numbers would look like if this crew was playing D’Antoniball™®.

I love the blazers..I am Andy’s room mate and I knew about teh Blazers 4 yrs ago before Imoved to the US. and now I live in the USA and I get to see them errday they play at home..belive me they are popular in Zambia too except my friends dont think Oden was a good idea….get back to me bout the NBA and its effects on Africa..well at least Zambia(a soccer ridden nation; which I am very proud of as a soccer player)..lol
